The "AI" could XX & hack XXX, well that's called creating a virus, if you create a virus yes you can use your virus to hack XXX. That's not because its "super intelligent" its because you created a virus which you shouldn't be allowed to do.

It is also worth adding that almost nothing we provided to Ukraine is even relevant to this conflict. The only thing that would be is the PAC-3 and we gave a borderline negligible number of interceptors. We're not using GMLRs, Bradleys or 155mm rounds to fight Iran. This is completely made up.

Judge Quraishi says that if ICE keeps arresting people and detaining them without bond under the legal theory that has been rejected by hundreds of judges, and any of those cases come across his bench, he'll immediately order DHS and DOJ personnel hauled into court to explain themselves.
The U.S. Attorney's Office and the Department of Homeland Security are cautioned that further arrests and detentions under § 1225(b) that come before the undersigned will likely trigger the issuance of an Order to Show Cause and the scheduling of an in-person hearing requiring individuals with personal knowledge from the Office and the Department to testify under oath as to the specific facts and legal positions associated with the detention at issue.
IV. CONCLUSION
For the reasons expressed above, Petitioner's habeas petition (ECF No. 1) will be GRANTED, and Petitioner will be RELEASED IMMEDIATELY. An appropriate order follows.

The Tumbler Ridge newspaper puts it better than I could
Hey. 

This is a message out there to all of you who, in trying to create a tribute to our children, choose to use AI.

When you feed these images into AI, you're feeding their data set. That means they will now use little pieces of Abel and Maya and the others the next time someone asks for the image of a 12 year old. 

While most companies are trying their best, some of them aren't; a few weeks back, Grok was freely and cheerily offering up images of naked, underage children. This is horrifying.

I know that some people out there are trying to create clickbait images, but not you. You're trying to show your respect and love, but could we ask you do it in a different way? There are actual provided images of most of the victims out there; sharing those is equally as powerful and less dicey, morally. The RCMP even created a composite for you. 

Thanks.
